1. Introduction

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your PROFLO PF6112K Calhoun Toilet Tank. This product is designed for durability and efficient performance, complementing your chosen toilet bowl for a complete fixture. Please read these instructions carefully before beginning installation or use to ensure proper function and longevity of your product.

2. Configuration et installation

The PROFLO PF6112K Calhoun Toilet Tank is designed to be paired with a compatible toilet bowl.

This tank is suitable for floor-mounted toilet installations.

2.1 Déballage et inspection

Carefully remove the toilet tank from its packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, do not proceed with installation. Contact PROFLO customer service for assistance.

2.2 Attaching the Tank to the Bowl

1. Place the rubber tank-to-bowl gasket (if not pre-installed) over the tank outlet on the bottom of the tank.
2. Carefully align the tank with the bolt holes on the toilet bowl.
3. Insert the tank bolts through the tank and bowl holes. Secure with washers and nuts, tightening evenly to prevent cracking the vitreous china. Do not overtighten.

2.3 Connexion d'alimentation en eau

1. Assurez-vous que le robinet d'arrivée d'eau est fermé.
2. Connect the water supply line (not included) to the fill valve shank on the underside of the tank. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn. Do not overtighten.
3. Turn on the water supply valve slowly and check for leaks. Tighten connections slightly if leaks are present.

3. Fonctionnement

The PROFLO PF6112K Calhoun Toilet Tank operates with a standard flush mechanism, providing an efficient and effective flush with each use.

3.1 Tirer la chasse d'eau

To flush, simply press down on the chrome flush lever located on the side of the tank. Hold the lever down briefly until the water in the bowl begins to drain. The tank will then refill automatically.

4. Entretien

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your PROFLO toilet tank.

4.1 Nettoyage

• Clean the exterior of the vitreous china tank with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
• Évitez d'utiliser des nettoyants abrasifs, des tampons à récurer ou des produits chimiques agressifs, car ils peuvent endommager la finition.
• For the interior, periodically check for mineral buildup. If necessary, use a toilet bowl cleaner designed for internal tank use, following the product's instructions carefully.

4.2 Internal Component Check

• Periodically remove the tank lid and inspect the fill valve, flush valve, and flapper for wear or damage.
• Ensure the flapper chain has the correct amount of slack (typically 1-2 links). Too much or too little slack can affect flushing performance.
• Check for any signs of leaks around the tank bolts or water supply connection. Tighten connections gently if minor leaks are detected.

5. Dépannage

Cette section aborde les problèmes courants que vous pourriez rencontrer avec votre réservoir de toilettes.

5.1 Les toilettes fonctionnent en continu

• Flapper not sealing: Check if the flapper is properly seated over the flush valve opening. Ensure the chain is not too tight, preventing it from closing completely. Clean any debris from the flapper or valve seat.
• Fill valve issue: The water level might be too high, causing water to flow into the overflow tube. Adjust the fill valve float to lower the water level.

5.2 Weak or Incomplete Flush

• Niveau d'eau trop bas : Adjust the fill valve float to raise the water level in the tank.
• Flapper closing too quickly: Ensure the flapper chain has enough slack to allow the flapper to stay open for the duration of the flush.
• Clogged siphon jet or rim holes: This is typically a bowl issue, but ensure the tank is delivering sufficient water volume.

5.3 Leaks Around the Tank Base

• Loose tank bolts: Gently tighten the tank bolts evenly. Do not overtighten.
• Worn tank-to-bowl gasket: If tightening does not resolve the leak, the gasket between the tank and bowl may need replacement.
• Loose water supply connection: Tighten the water supply line connection at the fill valve.
